@tom thanks! It works. I had used the same solution but a wrong partition number was the culprit.

Hello,

are there limitations for the micro SDK card support in RB5?

we have a rb5 pro kit w/ a 5G modem. we tried mounting the data of a 64 GB Micro SD Card SDXC (SanDisk) using a USB 3.0 microSD Card Reader but were not successful. The usb show up at /dev/sdg. but the mounting did not work. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi,

is there any solution to the random wlan0 mac address of rb5?

this problem does not allow us to set a static IP on the router for qr5.

I tried the voxl-static-ip but it does not work.

rb5:/etc/systemd/system$ voxl-static-ip 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2
wlan0: Unknown host

Also, the @RichieRich's solution here
https://forum.modalai.com/topic/682/how-to-stop-wlan0-mac-address-randomization/5
did not work as we do not have eth0 interface.

thanks.

Hello @tom , @Eric-Katzfey

the link to remote ID instructions does not contain any content? I was wondering if we can setup the remote ID for RB5?

https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-remote-id/

Hello,

is there support for gimbal integration with RB5 drones? is there any limitation or recommendation in terms of connections (URART, sbus, mavlink) ?

thanks

Thank you both @Chad-Sweet and @tom for being super responsive on this technical forum.

Hi,

Apparently the default directory http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/stable on the VOXL platforms with a system-image 3.6.0 and voxl-suite 0.5.0. is no longer available for updating the packages.

I updated the directory in /etc/opkg/opkg.conf to http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/apq8096/stable/binary-arm64/ and after running update && opkg upgrade I get the following package conflicts:

voxl:/$ opkg upgrade
Upgrading voxl-tflite-server from 0.1.8 to 0.3.1 on root.
Installing apq8096-tflite (2.8.3-1) on root.
Upgrading voxl-camera-server from 0.8.1 to 1.3.5 on root.
Upgrading voxl-utils from 0.8.5 to 1.2.2 on root.
Installing apq8096-system-tweaks (0.1.3) on root.
Not downgrading package libgphoto2 on root from 2.5.26 to 0.0.4.
Upgrading voxl-suite from 0.5.0 to 0.9.5 on root.
Collected errors:
 * check_conflicts_for: The following packages conflict with apq8096-tflite:
 * check_conflicts_for: 	voxl-tflite * 
 * check_conflicts_for: The following packages conflict with voxl-camera-server:

 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for voxl-suite:

I wonder if flashing the system image and upgrading to the most recent one is the only way to fix the conflicts.

Thanks.

@Chad-Sweet

Thanks for the replay. yes, I'm trying them one by one, because our set-up is different.
but, currently, there seems to be a problem with finding the dependencies in the build of voxl-mpa-to-ros.

CMake Warning at /opt/ros/indigo/share/roscpp/cmake/roscppConfig.cmake:111 (message):
  Project 'roscpp' specifies 'NOTFOUND/usr/include' as an include dir, which
  is not found.  It does neither exist as an absolute directory nor in
  '/opt/ros/indigo/NOTFOUND/usr/include'.

Not sure why ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} inside CMakeLists.txt cannot be found. Eventually, I get Not selecting voxl-mpa-to-ros 0.3.6 due to incompatible architecture. if try to deploy the build ipk.

I'm using voxl-emulator:V1.7 to build. I put the entire process in the following code section.

Thanks

Hello

We have successfully built a docker container running ros noetic on VOXL. We want access to data from (and to) the MPA services inside ros nodes.

For sending control commands from a ros node to the PX4, it seems MAVROS can be modified to get it working for newer versions of ros kinetic.

But, to make VIO data (image, IMU, ...) from the MPA pipeline available inside a ros node, the voxl_mpa_to_ros seems to be distribution dependent and is built for ros indigo being run on voxl.

I was wondering what would be a workaround. what are the dependencies or requirements to make the above available inside a docker?

thanks

Thanks, @modaltb! yes, that seems to be the cause; we received two sentinel drones yesterday and for the same reason they have not had GPS signal available either. But that's ok, we don't need GPS for indoor flight tests.

could you please comment on the odometery problem which I mentioned in the first post? I have two odemetry components with id=1 and id=197 in MAVLink Inspector in QGC. The odometry component with id=1 works fine and voxl-inpsect-imu outputs correct values in the VIO-enabled, GPS-disabled setting. But I get invalid local position for ekf2 status in MAVlink console and "reject position mode" message when try to fly the drone with RC in position mode.

do I need to reset the PX4 firmware?

thanks

For wiring I'm using J1012 on the flight deck which is J10 on Flight core if I'm not mistaken. I also reset the PX4 parameters to the default but still no GPS. I was wondering if there are some specific PX parameter/configuration I can check out.

thanks for the reply.
so I'm getting NO GPS Lock for Vehicle in the Mission planner of QGC and GPS_RAW_INT (lat, lon, and ...) are not changing. I tried with another M8N GPS module and got the same results.

Hello,
I have trouble with unavailability of GPS and VIO data in a custom-built drone (VOXL flight deck 1, VOXL 4-in-1 ESC V2, and M8N GPS module. I'm getting no GPS and invalid local position, regardless of enabling/disabling GPS and magnetometer as it has been discussed here and I here.

I'm using the flight controller firmware v 1.11.3 as it was by default on the VOXL flight deck, and PX 4 parameters, are M500_v1_param_rev_B.params with modification for VOXL ESC. I've uploaded the params I used here as well.

I was wondering if a newer firmware (v 1.12 or later) can address this issue and if the GPS module is not compatible. I also have two odometery processes in the MAVLink Inspector, where x and y pos. are 0 constantly in one odometery and the pose_covarinance is nan in the other one (photos are attached).

Thanks

yes @Alex-Kushleyev, having done the test, it seems the ESC is faulty.

I should have mentioned this before, but in my tests only the motor on the ESC's ID/channel 3 was working and the rest on the channels/IDs 0, 1, 2 were not work. so just used T-motor 2203.5 3550 Kv with the Seeker V1 params and the VOXL Wall Power Supply (12V) and switched the motors on different ESC IDs/channels. Again the new motor on the ESC id=3 was working and the others not. I also changed the motors and the same results using the Seeker V1 params.

by the way the soldering did not seem to be an issue because I have checked them out by continuity tests.

thanks for the replay.

The ESC params I used for the results I shared above are
Seeker_V1_tmotor_f2203_1500kv_Param_Rev_A.

I also tried with esc_params_modalai_4_in_1_revb_1400KV_TMotor_MN1806
and
Starling_V1_emax1306B_2700kv_4030_3S_param_Rev_A
and a few more which had a Kv coefficient more than 2000. But the results are the same as I have shared.

That said, today I used
esc_params_modalai_4_in_1_revb_holybro2216_880 which has Kv=800 and a 4S battery, and this setting worked for calibration. I tried with a 3S battery but it could not provide enough power. After ~%30 PWM commanded, the RPM drops (picture attached). I wonder if there are any of these ESC params which I can use with a 3S battery as well.
PS.1. I tried with changing "vbat_nominal_mv" in the ESC params xml files but that did not work.
PS.2. I have a VOXL Flight Deck on the drone.

Hello,

I'm using VOXL ESC Tools to calibrate VOXL 4-in-1 ESC v2 on a cutom-built airframe (~7") with T-Motor F2203.5 3550 KV and propellers 6" x 4". 3S and 4S batteries were used to power the ESC passed through a VOXL Power Module v3.

without props being installed (no load), the motors spin normally in response to ``voxl-esc-calibrate.py"

video

but with props, the motors spin abnormally and can not pass the initial phase. ``voxl-esc-calibrate.py" sends out 0 RPM as though the motors are not spinning.

video2

• the idle amp of the ESC was measured at 0.46 Amp.
• max power was limited on purpose here.

Is there any consideration for the setup or recommendation on VOXL ESC Tools to calibrate other than using new motors with a lower Kv to get a higher torque?

thanks

@Chad-Sweet Is there any alternative method for calibrating the VOXL 4-in-1 ESC v2 that does not require the propellers being installed as opposed to the VOXL ESC Tools ?

Hi,
We have a VOXL flight deck 1 and VOXL 4-in-1 ESC V2, and I have some questions about powering the VOXL ESC V2 and its connection with motors.

the first question is how to power the ESC? is there any specific port on the Voxl flight deck and a cable by which I can power the ESC? or should we go with a PDB to do so as per usual?
Also, what capacitor do you recommend for powering the Voxl ESC v2?

Regarding the hardware connections, in case I wanted to use the port J1007 - 8-Channel PWM / 4-Channel DShot ESC Output Connector of the flight deck with a cable MCBL-00004 to the PWM Breakout Board, do you sell any cable to connect PWM Breakout Board to the Voxl ESC v2?

Best,
